Hi Guys
I posted this in the Audio Syndrome section but thought I would do a separate post about it here.
I got a pair of these things called AMG's:
http://www.lenehanaudio.com.au/index.php/products/amg.htmlWhat they do to my ML3's is - well - shocking. I could go on about it but will instead re-post what a guy I know near where I live posted on the forum here in Aus:
'OK, have just placed the AMG's on my ML-1's
These speakers are full HD3 construction, so very inert, but not to the same level as the newer production with the steel/HDF combo, so I believe.
Playing Icehouse - Man Of Colours and It's clearly better! (pun intended) to my ears, the extra level of vibration control seems to be most evident at higher volumes and during complex passages. In complex passages where things normally got messy especially at higher volume, It's now not, just clear and detailed...
Placing a hand on the side of the speaker I can even notice the reduction in vibration, the little that was evident before is now reduced to near non existent.
Hmm...do I need this?
Yes, these are going on my short list of things to get
Listening to Annie Lennox - Madusa now, and wow! the extra level of detail is very enjoyable, I'm going to find it difficult listening to my system for a short while after these go back, but on the bright side my neighbors will be glad that my preference on volume levels will go down again ...'
It really leaves you scratching you head how they can make such a difference - but they do. No voodoo physics though - its a weight that rests on springy rubber - physically it's exactly the same as a spring connected to a weight attached to the speakers - the speaker cone goes back the speaker goes forward (Newtons action and reaction) - the weight stays put and the rubber stretches and applies a countering force - very similar to a shock absorber - but the arrangement allows tuning to a specific frequency most suitable for speakers.
Thanks
